Arrow BMW M3 sedan returning. BMW M4 Coupe coming.

News just posted today at http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=580641

Oh boy the M3 fanboys are gonna kill themselves over the M4 name. Wonder if M4 and 4-series will still sell in good numbers in Asia.

Looks like the M3 sedan will be here before we know it - 2013

Interesting....they can market more "M" models this way....but there is still 1M which is a coupe with the flip flop name....

Glad to see the sedan returning!

I think it would have been better if they kept the m3 as the coupe version and the m4 as the sedan version. It would kinda make sense since the sedan version is relatively new, and the m4 name is new.

The 1-series will be renamed the 2-series at least the 1 M's successor will be called the M2.

i agree with you there
